Ulverston 5 miles.
On the coast looking across to Morecambe Bay is the small village of Aldingham, said to have once been a mile long but, as legend says, many of the early cottages were washed away by storms and tidal waves. Aldingham had the reputation of being a smugglers’ village, with brandy from France and tobacco from America supposedly hidden in the church crypt. The village is close to the spectacular Furness Abbey, and the ancient market town of Ulverston is just 5 miles away, and still has an authentic feel and community spirit. The town boasts a street market every Thursday and Saturday and many festivals throughout the year, including an amazing lantern procession in November and a superb Dickensian weekend in early December. It is also the birthplace of Stan Laurel and home to the only Laurel and Hardy museum in the world! With all the attractions of the Lake District National Park and the sandy beaches and good bird watching of the Furness Coast close by, this quiet and peaceful area has plenty to offer!

Lovely spacious property in a good setting with easy reach to the Lakes.
Mrs Park, London, April 2012
Really enjoyed the location and layout of the property. The local people were all very friendly and the walking/scenery was excellent.
Mr Swift, Hull, February 2012
The location of the property was fantastic - being able to step out the door straight onto the beach and have a lovely long walk. The house itself was lovely and extremely well equipped, as well as being beautifully decorated and furnished.
Mrs Wareham, Chorley, January 2012
We loved the location, the relaxed nature of the house. It was comfortable and not too chi chi, so we felt able to relax. The beach was lovely, and a great place to walk from, have beach bonfires etc.
